Welcome to TEAM BLUFOR, where the spirit of "Blue Force" transcends military missions to make a meaningful impact on the lives of Disabled Veterans.
Derived from the acronym for "Blue Force," BLUFOR represents the United States military and its steadfast allies. In military simulations, the force being tested or trained is marked in blue, and it is against this backdrop that Team BLUFOR emerges as a force dedicated to making a positive difference.
OUR MISSION
At Team BLUFOR, our mission is to empower Disabled Veterans on their journey towards healing through engaging in adaptive sports challenges.

Through these endeavors, we aim to help Disabled Veterans not just overcome, but crush their limitations.

It symbolizes our unwavering commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for those who have served our nation.
WHY ADAPTIVE SPORTS
Adaptive sports have proven to be a transformative avenue for rehabilitation, fostering physical activity, camaraderie, and a sense of accomplishment. By embracing a variety of sports challenges, we provide unique opportunities for Disabled Veterans to rediscover their strengths, resilience, and competitive spirit.
Adaptive sports are not merely physical challenges; they serve as powerful catalysts for emotional and mental health healing, particularly for those bearing invisible wounds of PTSD or other mental health challenges. These sports can provide a therapeutic avenue for those facing the physical manifestation of injuries or contending with the invisible scars of service. At Team BLUFOR, we recognize that healing extends beyond the visible, and our commitment to empowering individuals encompasses every aspect of the resilience, strength, and triumph orver adversity.

Team BLUFOR is not just a team; it's a community dedicated to rewriting the narratives of Disabled Veterans and ensuring that their stories are filled with resilience, strength, and triumph.
We are looking for folks who are passionate and driven to help others. Helping a dissabled Veteran Crush their Limitations is our mission. Current needs include a social media specialist, athletes, and treasurer. We have many other opportunities to serve those who served.
